Bug Report

Capacitor Version

@capacitor/core: 4.4.0 @capacitor/cli: 4.4.0 @capacitor/android: 4.4.0 @capacitor/local-notifications@4.1.2

Platform(s)

Android

Current Behavior

Trying to register a notification channel with LocalNotifications plugin. Unable to set "importance" property. According to doc, this property is of a special "Importance" type, but the value must be one of 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5. Trying to set simply {importance : 5} triggers the following compile error:

Argument of type '{ id: string; name: string; description: string; importance: number; lightColor: string; sound: string; vibration: boolean; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Channel'. Types of property 'importance' are incompatible. Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'Importance'. E.g. the compilation behavior does not correspond wit the documentation.

The documentation means that the property must be one of the following values: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5. The native Android platform also accepts this property as an int constant. Evidently the plugin does not provide any special enums or named constants. Ergo: either the compiler must accept a simple integer value, or the documentation must show another proper way to set this property.

Expected Behavior

Normally register a channel.

Code Reproduction

const channel = { id: "tiko_notifications", name: "TiKo", description: "TiKo reminder channel", importance: 5, lightColor: "#FFFFFF", sound: "expiration.wav",
vibration: true
}; await LocalNotifications.createChannel( channel );

Reproduction App: https://github.com/kuklyuk/lnchannel.git To reproduce: simply try to compile the Ionic App. The "wrong" code is in the file src/app/app.component.ts function initChannel (Ln 21). Without this function the projects compiles OK.

You have to tell typescript that the channel object is a LocalNotificationChannel:

const channel: LocalNotificationChannel = {
          id: "tiko_notifications",
          name: "TiKo",
          description: "TiKo reminder channel",
          importance: 5,
          lightColor: "#FFFFFF",
          sound: "expiration.wav",                      
          vibration: true,
};

or that the importance value is of Importance type.

    const importance: Importance = 5;
    const channel = {
                      id: "tiko_notifications",
                      name: "TiKo",
                      description: "TiKo reminder channel",
                      importance: importance,
                      lightColor: "#FFFFFF",
                      sound: "expiration.wav",                      
                      vibration: true                      
                    };
